It really depends on the amount of money being offered. I was once offered $500,000 for a business that was barely turning over that much. My business partner was reluctant, and the deal fell apart. With the benefit of hindsight, I should have jumped at the offer. Offers of money don't come easily. If the money is big enough to pay a big chunk of a home, jump at it, and then start planning your next venture.

Dell has responded to accusations of censorship. Apparently the idea wasn't deleted, it was simply "merged", which means it's all OK (NOT!).
